Bandar Mahkota intersection to remain open, upgraded
Thursday June 5, 2008
KAJANG: The controversial Bandar Mahkota Cheras intersection, which led to a Cabinet intervention on May 30, will be upgraded and will remain open to the people.
Works Minister Datuk Mohd Zin Mohamed, said the Malaysian Highway Authority and Cheras-Kajang Highway concessionaire Grand Saga Sdn Bhd had been instructed to begin upgrading works on the road that would by-pass the 11th Mile Cheras toll plaza.
Mohd Zin, who visited the site yesterday, said six more traffic lights would be installed at the intersection below the highway to make things better for road users from the Bandar Mahkota Cheras, Bandar Sungai Long, Bandar Tun Hussein Onn and Cheras Perdana townships. The road will also be resurfaced.
The intersection made headlines in recent days when the public demolished the barricades built by Grand Saga four times this year. Grand Saga had claimed losses due to their by-passing the toll. This led to a series of incidents filled with injuries and arrests.
The Government stepped in, ordering the removal of the last barricade and promised that the road would remain open until the legal dispute between Grand Saga and Bandar Mahkota Cheras developer Narajaya Sdn Bhd is resolved in court.
